Some Interesting Remarks at a Balti- more Meeting Last Night. Like a voice from the dead came a let- ter from Frederick Douglass, which was read by Rev. John W. Beckett at the mé- morial meeting held last night by the colored people of Baltimore in Bethel Church, says the Baltimore Sun today. It was written three years ago to Mr. Beckett, when he was pastor of Metro- politan Church, in Washington, and was in reply to a letter from the clergyman ask- ing Mr. Douglass to ally himself more closely to his church. The reply sets for- ward in a clear, straightforward way Mr. Douglass’ opinion of Christianity and re- ligion. Here are some of the things he said: “J do not feel it my duty to join any of the many sects now arrogating to them- selves the title of the Church of Christ and considering all outside of them ‘ashamed of Jesus.” “The Christianity of this country, as ex- hibited in the churches, is not the Chris- tianity of Christ. It is a man-degrading and negro-hating Christianity. In the south it lived and flourished side by side with slavery for two hundred years, and never had any quarrel with it, and in its presence today the negro is robbed, lynched and murdered without remonstrance from the Christian pulpits.”” The eulogies of the various speakers at the memorial meeting were exceedingly |-fervid in their praise of the dead negro champion, and compared him to many of the greatest of the world’s thinkers and statesmen. “It seems to me that there is something significant in the name which Frederick Douglass’ mother gave him,” said Bishop Wayman, who presided at the meeting. “I don’t know why she gave it to him, neither do any of you, nor would she very likely know if she were here now. But she happened to name him Frederick Augustus Washington, and if you will read up in your books at home the lives of these three great men—Frederick the Great, Augustus Caesar and George Washington you will see that Frederick Douglass possessed in a great measure the char- acteristics of all three of them.” “The greatest man of the nineteenth cen- white or colored,” Was the sentiment was expressed by Rev. George F. Bragg of St. James’ Protestant Episcopal Church. ‘Men call Gladstone and Bismarck great men of our day, but, compare the op- portunities and the environment of these two with the humble, enslaved beginnings which Frederick Douglass had in Talbot county and in this city in his early days. He made himself great by creating his own envirorment, and there is a lesson in his life for everybody ‘This comparison with Gladstone and Bis- marck was also made by Dr. Henry J. Brown in his address. But the doctor was not cortent with this eulogy, for, after say- ing that Douglass’ intellectuality was the equal of Emerson's, of Victor Hugo's, of Schiller’s or of Goethe's, he added that this century ought to be called the “Doug- lassian age,” and the dead man compared to the heroic statue of “Liberty enlighten- ing the world.” “Each age seems to have some man whose intellectual attainments and characteristics are so powerful that his name is stamped upon the age for- ever,” said Dr. Brown. “It was so with the Shakespearean age and the age of Goethe, and three thovsand years hence, when you and I are all dead and probably forgotten, men will recognize he greatness of Frederick Douglass by calling this cen- tury the Douglass age.” Addresses were also made by Warner T. McGuinn and others, and a series of reso- lutions of sympathy to Douglass’ family were adopted. They had been prepared by the committee of arrangements, of which Dr. J. Marcus Cargill was chairman. as A Furniture Dealer Assigns. George Breitbarth, dealer in furniture at 515 7th street, today made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors to Oliver T. Thompson.

Points Brought Out for and Against the Constitutionality of the Recent Law. After The Star’s report of the Supreme Court proceedings closed yesterday Mr. Carter addressed the court. Proceeding to consider the constitutional questions in- volved in the case, Mr. Carter said that the law was said to be unconstitutional ‘ be- cause an income tax was a direct tax. “Is that an cpen question in this court?” he asked. The court had said it was liable to err, and they were bound to believe it. (Laughter.) And he would not for a _mo- ment argue that a wrongful decision should not be reversed. Direct taxes, Mr. Carter argued, were those that could be equally apportioned among the states, such as cap- itation ana land taxes. Furthermore, the capacity to collect as well as that to levy a tax was had in mind. If, for instance, the limit in the income tax law had besn placed at $20,000 instead of $4,000, it might be that in Texas there would be no one with sufficient income to make the law applicable to him, and thus Texas would remain altogether untaxed under the law. Justice Gray’s Question. At this point Justice Gray interrupted Mr. Carter to ask if he did not believe that the framers of the Constitution had meant in specifying duties, imposts and excises that all other taxes should be regarded as direct, and to hold to the idea then so prevalent of coupling taxation and repre- sentation, but Mr. Carter replied that such a construction would put a limit on the Censtitution by implication, which he did not believe would fall within the duty of the court. The framers of the Constitution had evidently proceeded upon the theory that they had disposed of duties, imposts and excises by proscribing them, while all other taxes provided must necessarily fol- low the rule of apportionment. He did not believe they would have been caught in such a predicament. Discussing the question of the meaning of the word “uniformity,” as used in the Constitution, he said it was known that the framers had in mind territorial uni- formity, but it was not known that they meant general uniformity. Nor could he find an injunction of uniformity in the word “tax,” as others professed to do. As to the exercise of arbitrary power by Congress, he asserted that if undertaken, the disposition should be checked by the courts, but the taxation of wealth was a legitimate function uf Congress, and there was no occasion for interference. If there was a provision, for instance, for taxing bald-headed or red-headed men, it would be different, and such a provision would be an evidence of the use of arbitrary power, but no such whim or parallel exercise of power had been attempted. He asserted that there was no ground for the fear ex- pressed that the burden placed upon the rich by the present law would be followed by others of a like character. Classifications and Evasions. Mr. Carter was discussing the question of classification when interrupted by Jus- tice White with an inquiry as to how he would account for the various decisions of the Courts to the effect that attempts at classification were, in fact, not classifica- tions, but mere evasions. “‘When,” re- plied Mr. Carter, “there is an evasion, I grant that it is an exercise of arbitrary power, but when these acts are based on public grounds and do not constitute an arbitrary proceeding, the act is legitimate. Congress in such a case is seeking to es- tablish its own policy. It may be right and it may be wrong, but it is guilty of no evasion, and it does not become necessary for the courts to interfere.” With regard to the asseveration that the subject of taxation in the case of state and municipal bonds was not in the power of Congress, he maintained that the ques- tion had never been determined and was open to argument. In closing, Mr. Carter said he was not among those who would circumscribe the power of the court to sit in judgment on the acts of Congress, but the power df the courts in this respect had been limited, and he hoped the day would never come when it could be said that the court had reached the limit. For that matter, however, he was of opinion that the limit had already been transgressed when the court finds it- self considering questions of sociology and the general question of the taxing power of the country’s lawmakers. Nothing could be more jnjurious to the stability of the government than an attempt on the part of the court to review the action of Con- gress when the question of the right of Congress to legislate with respect to taxa- tion was involved. No one would question the right of the seventy millions of people of this country to settle such matters for themselves by their votes, and if left to themselves there would probably be a peaceful solution, but if in the very hour of their triumph they find an obstacle in their way in the shape of a judgment in a lawsuit, they are liable, if need be, to find a way to accomplish their ends over the Constitution and the court. Mr. Choate Against the Tax. Mr. Choate followed Mr. Carter, speaking for the appellants. His is the closing argu- ment in the case, and as he began only forty minutes before the court adjourned for the day, he had only fairly opened when the hour for adjournment arrived. “After Jupiter had thundered all around the sky, and had leveled everything by his thunderbolts,” Mr. Choate began, “‘Mer- cury came out from his hidirg place and Icoked around to see how much damage had been done. But he knew,” he contin- ued, “that it was only stage thunder, and was enabled to reassure gods and men.” He came as Mercury did, to bring calm and assurance, and he would not attempt to vie with Mr. Carter. He declared that he had never before heard the argument used by Mr. Carter, that the popular wrath might in any event sweep the Supreme Court away. He haa likewise been sur- prised to hear that Congress was to be the sole judge of the powers confided to it by the Constitution. As for himself, he be- lieved there were private rights of prop- erty to be considered, and he believed that this court was delegated to pass upon such questions as were here involved without asking the consent of the Attorney General or any one else. He declared that the in- come tax was communistic, and said it was defended here upon principles as commu- nistic, socialistic and populistic as had ever been addressed to a popular assem- blage, and he had been astonished that the Attorney General had made a place for its toleration on the ground that it was di- rected only at the rich. Evidence of Inequality. Mr. Choate said that if the law was en- forced New York, New Jersey, Massachu- setts and Pennsylvania would pay nine- tenths, yes, nineteen-twenticths of the tax. This, he declared, was sufficient evidence of inequality. He controverted the position that there was no help for this state of af- fairs. He thought it would appear differ- ently in case it would be shown that the Constitution had been contravened. He did not believe that under the Constitution Congress could undertake the function of levelers. If the exemption as now pro- vided was sustained by the court it might be extended. If the power was to checked, it must be checked now. Stating the plan of his review, Mr. Choate said his position was that the income tax was wholly void, because absolutely in all its parts it was a direct tax, and not im- posed by the rule of apportionment. He admitted the possibility of the unwilling- ness of the court to accept this view in all its breadth. For this reason he would pre- sent the case on somewhat narrower grounds, in accordance with former prece- dents in all matters except in the case of the income tax. The basis of his argument would be the clear distinction between di- rect taxes on the one hand and excises and imposts on the other. He would assume that all duties, imposts and excise taxes were shut out from the class of direct taxes, while on the other hand any tax on the income from real estate, &c., was di- rect tax, and therefore inhibited by the Constitution. 2+ _______ The Late Mrs. Pope Renfembered. At the last meeting of the Washington Homeopathic Medical Society resolutions were adopted expressing the sympathy of the body for Dr. Gustavus W. Pope in the loss of his wife, Mrs. Clara V. Pope, and reciting the severe blow entailed to homeopathy by reason of her death. No, Never. Physicians have never been able to prescribe..any other emulsion of Cod-liver Oil which would bring as satisfactory re- sults as Scott’s Emulsion. The reasons for this are the absolute purity of its compo- nents and the superior process of its manufacture. Nobody has ever been able to imitate it. Imitations are always inferior to the real thing. Remember that Scott’s Emul- sion is the great food for wasting in adults and children. Don’t be persuaded to accept a substitute! Scott & Bowne, N.Y.

While the grand jury has not officially reported to the court its conclusion in the case of Policeman Green, charged with the killing of Reuben Foster, the young colored man whom he had arrested near Hillsdaie on the 4th instant, District Attorney Bir- ney would not deny this morning the re- port that the case had been ignored by the grand jury. The grand jury was engaged in examining the witnesses summoned be- fore it by Mr. Birney most of Monday and up to the time it adjourned yester- day. Neither Mr. Birney nor his assistants would give out any information in the case yesterday, except the fact that witnesses had been examined, and the now undoubted belief that the body decided to ignore the charge against Policeman Green was, it is said today, authorized by information given out last night by some member or mem- bers of the grand jury. What Mr. Birney Says. Mr. Birney stated to a Star reporter to- day that, while he had not yet been offl- cially informed, he had reason to believe that the grand jury had ignored the case he had presented against the officer, He expected the grand jury to make a report in court at 11 o’clock tomorrow morning to this effect. Mr. Birney explained: that the action of the grand jury in ignoring the charge of manslaughter made against the officer was a matter of not a little sur- prise to him, although it was not his prov- ince to criticise their conclusion. He had summoned before the grand jury every per- son who had knowledge of the killing of Foster, and had in every way performed the duties incumbent upon him in the case. Therefore he was in no way responsible for the failure to return an indictment against the officer. The grand jury, ex- Plained Mr. Birney, was the sole judge of the testimony, and its action, of course, finally determined the matter so far as he Was concerned, and prevented any further action certainly before the present grand jury. While it is generally admitted that the action of the grand jury precludes any further effort tu secure an indictment against the officer during its term of serv- ice, it was stated by the officials of the district attorney’s office that the conciu- sion or finding of the present grand jury does not, by any means, prevent the case being submitted to the next grand jury for its action. The term of the present grand jury terminates on the first Mon- day of next month, when it will be suc- ceeded by a grand jury, which will con- tinue in office until October. When Mr. Birney was asked if he would present the case before the next grand jury, he de- clined to say one way or the other, but it is generally believed that he will do so. Will Try the Next Grand Jury. The action of the grand jury occasioned not a little surprise about the city hall, but Messrs. E. M. Hewlett and M. M. Hol- land, two colored attorneys, who have in- terested themselves in laying the case be- fore Mr. Birney, stated that they were not nearly so much surprised as were the attorneys of the police officer. They said that they deeply regretted the refusal of the grand jury to return an indictment, but explained that instead of abiding by the conclusions of the present grand jury, they would most respectfully insist upon Mr. Birney laying the matter before the succeeding grand jury next month. They had no complaints to make, being confi- dent that Mr. Birney had done all he could, but believed that the officer would surely be indicted by the coming grand jury. Some Witnesses Examined. Some ten or more witnesses were exam~- ined by the grand jury, but Clerk Downs of Criminal Court No. 1, who has charge of the list of witnesses, refused today to make known their names, It is known, however, that Lieut. McCathran of the police force, who is said to be a relative of Foreman Donald McCathran of the grand jury, was one of the witnesses examined yesterday. It is understood that the grand jury justi- fies.its reported refusal to indict the officer on the ground that the killing of Foster was the result of an accident. It is also understood that so fearful was Policeman Green of being indicted that he had already made every arrangement to give bail, and is said to have been in the neighborhood of the city hall practically all day yesterday. —_—_—_ WILL ROSEBERY RESIGN? It is Said in London That He Will After the Easter Rece: The London correspondent of the New York Herald says: On authority which I have reason to consider sufficient, I am en- abled to state that Lord Rosebery, owing nominally to the present state of his health, has determined to place his resignation in the queen’s hands. I am further in a position to say that the real object of today’s cabinet council was not to consider a matter relatively so unim- portant as the succession to the speaker- ship, as has been semi-officially given out, but to discuss the date of dissolution. It is, I hear, altogether likely that this long expected évent will take place immediately, after the Easter recess. Another Smallpox Cane. Another case of smallpox developed in the Butler family, at 2104 Ith street north- west, yesterday, the victim being Eugene, seventeen-months-old child. This is the third member of this family that has been sent to the hespital, end the mother ac- companied the baby there today. The fa- ther and unother child are doing nicely. There is one suspected case still under ob- servation. Bettie Rich, the colored girl, who was re- turned to the hospital several days after she had been discharged as cured, has now been in the hospital nearly two weeks, although she has not got the smallpox. The hospital physicians say that her sickness is the result of her former treatment, and she will be discharged from the note in a few days. ‘Take iuto considerdtion fuel saving, water heat- ing, perfect baking, saving of time and repairs nud, way a Majestic’ Range this week. “B, F.
